CM Punk (1994-2014)
A lot of people credit CM Punk for making wrestling cool. His Pipe Bomb impromptu speech with a mic will probably go down in history as one of the most important moments in WWE wrestling history. He had a terrible attitude, which only made the fans love him more. Keep your eyes peeled for a comeback!
Bob Backlund (1973-2007)
Bob Backlund was credited for carrying WWE on his back until the arrival of Hulk Hogan. He was a great wrestler and a submission expert who held onto the WWE Championship title for four years. He was around long enough to take the WWE Championship title back after defeating Bret Hart.
